When your appliance becomes 8 years old, your insurance cover will automatically stop. Therefore, it's important to apply for insurance again if you plan on keeping your appliance in the future.

How do I claim, and is there any excess to pay?

If you want to make a claim, it couldn't be easier. All claims need to be reported to our customer service centre. These claims need to be fully described, and the administrator must be notified within 10 days of finding the issue with your appliance.

All appliance claims must be reported via the online portal (www.row.co.uk/login). If you want to reach the administrator their working hours are 09.00 - 18.00 Monday to Friday, and 10.00 - 16.00 Saturday.

If you make a claim within the first 3 months of the start date of your appliance insurance policy, there will be an added excess of £65.

Are There Any Exclusions?

There are a few exclusions that come with this insurance cover, one being specific accidental damage. Specific accidental damage is damage that has occurred due to you personally not taking the correct measures to ensure damage doesn't happen.

Malicious damage will also be excluded if we find that something has been done purposely to make a claim, so keep this in mind!

If your appliance is still covered under the manufacturer's warranty period, our cover will not be included as you will receive full repair or replacement services from the company.

If you have placed your tumble dryer in a place that is not in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions could cause your appliance cover to be void as it could be seen as being malicious damage to the appliance or neglecting to take the correct measures to provide your appliance with the safest lifestyle.
